Hafsa bint Umar

Ḥafsah bint ‘Umar ( ; literally: Daughter of a Lion ; born c. 609 - 45 AH (665/666 CE) was the daughter of Umar (Umar ibn al-Khattab) and wife of the Islamic prophet Muhammad , and therefore a Mother of the Believers .

Ḥafsa bint Umar ( ) (c.605-665) was a wife of the Islamic prophet Muhammad ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and therefore a Mother of the Believers . Hafsa was the daughter of Umar ibn al-Khattab and Zaynab bint Mazoon. She was born "when Quraysh were building the House [ Kaaba ], five years before the Prophet was sent," i.e., in 605. She was married to Khunais ibn Hudhaifa but became a widow in August 624. As soon as Hafsa had completed her waiting period , her father Umar offered her hand to Uthman Ibn 'Affan , and thereafter to Abu Bakr ; but they both refused her. When Umar went to Muhammad ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) to complain about this, Muhammad ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) replied, "Allah will marry Uthman to better than your daughter and will marry your daughter to better than Uthman." Muhammad ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) married Hafsa in Shaaban AH 3 (late January or early February 625). With this marriage, Muhammad ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) strengthened his ties to Umar, who now became his father-in-law. According to Islamic tradition, Hafsa had memorized the Qur'an . The copy of Zayd ibn Thabit , which was recorded on the instructions of Abu Bakr, was kept in Hafsa's house. Uthman Ibn 'Affan, when he became Caliph , used Hafsa's copy when he standardized the text of the Qur'an . She is also said to have narrated sixty hadiths from Muhammad ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam (Arabic: صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). She died in Shaban AH 45, i.e., in October or November 665. She is buried in Jannat-Ul-Baqi . The story is told in five separate traditions.
